Macro IS corrects exaggerated shift shake which occurs during close-up macro photography, while Powered IS works during movie shooting to counteract the exaggerated motion which occurs when shooting distant subjects using the zoom. In combination with Smart Auto, Intelligent IS works automatically so users can capture photos that are rich in detail with minimal blur, without worrying about your camera settings.

Smart Auto includes Face Detection Technology and Advanced Subject Detection Technology, locking onto human faces, pets, or other objects, such as cars, within a scene. Once identified, Servo AF/AE keeps subjects in focus and well-exposed, right up until the moment the photo is captured. i-Contrast and Smart Flash Exposure, also included within Smart Auto, ensure subjects always look their best - reducing the appearance of harsh shadows and over-exposed highlights in the final picture.
